About the Program: 

Every student in this urban, Pre-K - 8 school will discover that healthy, delicious food comes from the earth, not from the cans & boxes found on supermarket shelves. Our FoodCorps member will guide students through hands-on experiences in growing and caring for plants, introducing the principles of ecology, sustainability, stewardship and healthy nutrition. Mentoring chefs will demonstrate new and interesting ways to prepare a wide variety of foods to students who will be exposed to the names & flavors of delicious new vegetables, fruits & herbs. Students will dig in the earth, visit farms & community gardens, sell produce at the local farmers̢
